Department devises dietary safety program
1980
Bannon, Thomas | Mier, Carol Hare
The dietary department of Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, RI, has instituted a safety program in which each employee is responsible for creating and maintaining a safe and hazard-free work environment. To fulfill this responsibility, all department employees serve on an 8-member safety committee and act as safety inspectors on a rotating basis. Each safety inspector tries to maintain an accident-free work area during 1 week of service. Inspectors identify unsafe situations and make recommendations to the managerial staff for their correction. Since the program began in 1976, the department's accident rate has dropped 52%. Other hospital departments have subsequently initiated safety programs based on this model.
